The BURNET-MOTH. The Caterpillars are to be found feeding on Hay-Grass about the Middle of May, at which Time many of them go into the Chrysalis State, within such a Spinning as is expressed in the Plate, and which they make fast to the Stalks of Grass, about a Foot from the Ground. The Moths fly about the Middle of June, in the Day-time, and are easily taken.
